flag States mandate work for Medicaid recipients, facing support and skepticism over effectiveness.

flag As of 2025, some states require Medicaid recipients to work or participate in job training for at least 80 hours a month, facing potential loss of benefits if they fail to comply. flag While 62% of Americans support these requirements, recent research suggests they may not significantly reduce Medicaid costs or increase employment. flag The Congressional Budget Office estimates that nationwide work requirements could reduce Medicaid enrollment by 0.6 million and save $109 billion over 10 years, but experts argue the impact might be minimal and more effective policies could include time limits on eligibility.
